If you're using the Atronach sign you can always restore your magicka through Temple shrines or Imperial Cult shrines, or summon your own ancestral ghost and hit it a few times, then dispel it again. It's such an overpowered sign, but fun to play.
You can also enchant bought or made spells onto items as well, like jewelry, misc weapons, or armor. These will use the enchant charge instead of magicka, and that will recharge over time. But it does have a higher upfront cost to get set up. Also scrolls, scrolls are super useful always have some intervention and mark/recall scrolls on hand
I've been a big elder scrolls fan for most of my life, but I grew up as more of an oblivion and skyrim kid, and never touched morrowind for some reason. But after starting morrowind late last year, I can't put this game down. It quickly became my favorite game in the series, and after my first blind playthrough your content has been a joy to watch and inspires me to build more characters and love this game even more!
The female orc is another interesting option; she leans a little harder into the “sword” aspect of the build, but she gains a bonus to willpower, and suffers no losses to intelligence like her male counterpart.
My high elf atronach artificer had been struggling early on without cheese, but you just made me realize that female orc would actually make waaaaay more sense for the character Im trying to make. Probally have an easier time fresh off the boat too
For all you guys worrying about running out of Magicka or potions with the atronach stone, keep in mind every spell you buy or create can be put onto an item as an enchant and you can use the enchant charge to cast in replacement of magicka, and in morrowind that enchant charge will recharge overtime which completely trivializes magicka but will have a much higher upfront cost to get set up
I haven't played this game in 15 years, but I clearly remember finding a daedric dai-katana in a random shed and feeling like a badass wielding it. This game is soooo good.
Literally my first Morrowind character was a Dunmer spellsword with the atronach birthsign. I feel validated now that even as a beginner player I had decent insight into building a good character. The only thing different is that I went with the default spellsword class instead of a custom one.
Just a quick note for people try doing this with the Patch for Purists, you can still grab the Sword of White Woe. Instead of being on the dresser, it will be on the bedside table. If you position yousrself on the beam just left to where he is standing here 18:37 and face the other way, you can eventually find a blind spot and steal it
As a man from Poland, I wouldn't call it Witcher is Spellsword. he's more of a bounty hunter or inquisitor. Yes, he can use spells, but he might as well shoot a humanoid with a large ballista arrow if he had such a battlefield. he uses every method possibile, so he does not specialize in magic at 50% of his battle metodology.
I've only started playing morrowind a week ago and can honestly say its one of the best games released. In glad that your keeping it alive and simple for new players like me to make it fun .
18:27 the sneak indicator part is interesting, because what you can also do is, stand next to the guard until he starts looking at you and does his "Out with it, filthy N'wah, i don't have time for you!" talk and when he does that, you jump behind him into the corner, so that he now faces the corner. A short moment after he is done with his probably very rude speech, you can leave the corner, but the guard is still standing face to the corner and you can sneak-steal the sword then, too even if you're not behind the pillar next to the staircase. ...This is like the "bucket on head"-method from Skyrim. So long as the NPC is not facing you directly, you can sneak undetected.
This is great build! Playing with this will be so much fun and combination of powerful spell and sword creates the most deadly combination in the entire game!
Finally the build i was looking for, thank you! I love spellsword build and i always went with breton since the heavy armor are just too cool to leave out, this gave me some ideas and ill try it next time.
an interesting thing, im reading the witcher books right now. you mentioned him so many times, but yes, this is true, spellsword looks just like the witcher. idk why but my every playthrough in morrowing was with this class. i dont remember i used any others. without any changes in abilities, just picking this an existing class. anyway, your videos are awesome as always!
Awesome guide as always. Yeah, I've had to stop using the Atronach sign. It's just the best sign by a long way. There just isn't an archetype that it doesn't improve whether you intend on casting spells or not. I tried it once or twice when I was a kid and thought it was terrible, ran out of mana a couple of times and was like, nah. I like the magicka weakness sign on a dark elf and roleplaying that it's basically a recessive gene from when they were the Aldmer before the curse.
I just started playing Morrowind for the first time two days ago. I opted for the classical experience by buying for Xbox Original and using my 360 as the emulator since backwards compat works on there. My guy: Argonian His name: Jeerava Weaves Many Spells (unfortunately I couldn't use the typical dash symbol with the Argonian name since Xbox never had that option) His class: Spell Spear (I figured that since they were spears that Bethesda might've made the range on them better than other melee weapons) His build: Strength and Agility (as favored attributes) Athletics, Spear, Medium Armor, Mercantile, Speech Craft (Major Skills) Long Blade, Alchemy, Armorer, Illusion, Mysticism (Minor Skills) and then I used birthsign of the Lady to boost Endurance and Personality for my necessary skills. I'd like to add that because I had the instruction booklet with the game I didn't and still haven't looked up anything except what specific armor and weapons I want endgame. I have the goal of ending my fashion scrolls with Indoril Armor, a Glass Halberd, and a Glass Claymore. I'm having a really good time so far and I actually like the way this game looks since I grew up with MYST on my grandads computer as a boy. So far I have killed everything with my spear no issue and emptied Balmora of wealth with my potions since my Mercantile is so fucking high. 10/10 so far would become a scaly druglord again.
You should make "How to Paladin". Focus on heavy armour, mace/hammers, big shields, restoration and alteration. I have made my own paladin build as a noob but I would love to see your version
This inspired me to play morrowind again. It's been probably 15 years since I last played maybe longer. Loving it because I forgot everything so it's like a fresh start
@CoffeeNutGaming I've been working so much lately and honestly, haven't consistently gamed for almost a year now when I last updated my system. Your videos got me all amped up to get back into Vardenfell, and subsequently back into a little light gaming. I've never played a build like this so that's been fun too. Still busy but man is it fun revisiting the first game that got me heavily invested into RPGs as a little kid. I remember the first year I bought the game I was pretty much in a Seyda Neen/Balmora simulator lmao Figuring it out back then on my own was very rewarding and revisiting that has been awesome. I actually spent 100s and 100s of hours in Morrowind as a kid and I still learned a couple things from this video which made me smile. Really lookin forward to Skywind and I hope to see your videos playing it. Keep up the good stuff!
Great guide! I’ve been playing a nightblade character that is almost the spellsword in the video (but with sneak, shortblade, security etc) using spells to weaken enemies and finishing them off with a sb. Waiting for your take on a Nightblade! Edit: While also using illusion to enhance sneakiness! Blind spells, sound. Such a great playstyle!
Pounding headache and toothache, but I'm sitting here forcing myself to drink coffee by sipping water afterwards, while listening to metal and looking up build guides, because I havent played morrowind in 20 years - and the blessed algorithm shows me this channel on my feed lol. I swear it's watching me through me laptop... I'm so glad I found this channel though. This type of content for Morrowind and similar games is needed. You get so many people going back to play, and a lot of younger bethesda fans going back to play it. Especially now that Baldur's Gate 3 is going to start bringing more people to play more classic RPGs with attributes and skills rather than bland perk systems.
Another reason to take Light Armour as a skill is that the summoned armour from the Bound item spells use the light armour skill. These are a great option as they give you almost a full suit of Daedric Armour at level one. You'll just have to find some pauldrons and greaves.
one of my first Morrowind toons was an dark elf armed with just summon boots and summon dagger spells. and some magicka potions. really strong starting toon, IF i don't fail casting 4 times in a row! :)))))))
I agree but for later game the Cuirass of the saviour hide and the boots of blinding speed are a must. You can use summon boots, gloves and shield if you want to save weight and build up your unarmoured skill to fill in the gaps
@@michaeldavies7949 right, but in later game you can enchant yourself a pair of expensive/extravagant, or orcish/daedric boots with an enchant stronger than those boots. if you play as a mage/spellsword with Light Armor as one of major skills, you are right: with added skill, these two are more effective. if you play as a "pure mage", relying just on your spells, scrolls, enchanted items, and skilled in Unarmored, because robes and stuff does not have any armor, not so. same if you want to play with Heavy Armor as one of your major skills, because their biggest enchanting capabilities... also, Cuirass is a must for any high elf toon, because this one compensate one of their greatest weakness... and is really easy to get at level 1! :D for a breton, is really sweet to wear: innate 50% resist, and the Cuirass, with another 60%!... :D but, as i already said, as a mage or spellsword, you will be able in later game to enchant your own gear, with better enchantments, without these minuses... Morrowind is not Skyrim... you don't need to disenchant an item to learn his enchantment... but most of these gearpieces are really expensive, and gold is welcomed for training... if you find someone able to pay 150000 gold coins! :D
@@miftosaurus Stronger than 200 speed? No you can't. A breton with the Saviour's cuirass and the boots of Bspeed doesn't even get affected by the blindness drawback. In the vanilla game unarmoured doesn't work because of a glitch. You need a shielding buff or wear at least one piece of armour for it to work As regards to enchanting. I know the difference in all ES games. You can circumnavigate paying thousands of gold with the fortify intelligence exploit with Ash yams and bloat alchemy. As there is no stat limit you can get 10000 intelligence and this will easily be enough for you to enchant yourself a constant effect piece of clothing/armour/jewellery. It won't be as good as the legendary pieces you will find though eg the fists of randagulf are serious required equipment for a melee specialist
@Seaworth I see mods that make gameplay easier as exploitation not something that is built into the game. The super stats was nerfed in oblivion you can't have a skill improved with high stats past 100 and the intelligence stat doesn't make your potions better so the fortify intelligence glitch doesn't work
Your Morrowind videos are great. Informative, fun, funny. I've watched many of them. The one thing I've noticed is that you never take the key and loot the warehouse. I usually leave town with close to $3k every time. Just realizing this is a year old. Do you even check the comments anymore?
Great videos man, I'm glad I've discovered your channel. It's nice to see that somebody creates such good fresh content for Morrowind. Keep up the good work!
Great guides you make ! I discovered your channel not long ago and I love it ! I made a sort of spellsword almost like that (but on axe, heavy armor and conjuration). And Atronach was my choice too, and it's great ! Another way to turn around the stunt magicka is to apply to the Imperial cult : after a few missions, you'll have free access to the altar, and to the restore attributes benediction. And your spell absorbtion will restore you magicka in a instant! So: Mark - Divine Intervention - pray on the altar - Recall... and back in the fight again ! That being said, I must confess I'm a little disapointed with the class name... I thought you would go for "S-W-O-R-D" :D but maybe it's too "dad's joke" for a native english speaker ^^
When stealing the limeware in the beginning, I find the best way is to approach the shelf, open your menus, pick up the item and then just put it down directly after (don't even need to place it in your inv). You can do this with any item within reach of your menu screen and the guard will approach you after you close your menus. But then you can pick everything up and they will stay in your inv even if you do another attempt. Like I like to do all the books too. I think that makes sense how I explained. I learned this trick because I do tons of decorating by just placing things where I want them in the world from my inv. I decorate entire shelves or tables without ever closing my inv. Try it out, it's a game changer and I've never seen anyone else ever do it
Love your vids bro. Played morrowind as a kid when it came out. Always come back to it for like 23 years or however long it’s been. All my mage/sorcerer/warlock etc characters use the Atronach. It’s just too good. Love absorb health too.
I love this channel so much, got me wanting to play morrowind and finish it. Me from 15 years ago just used to bumble around BUT I did love the house Hlallu quest line
Awesome video Coffee, can't wait to see the Battlemage one been debating doing a Telvanni Battlemage now with the tease I will be watching my notification bell very closely. Keep up the amazing content Muthsera :D
New sub. Found you looking for character builds as I never took a real shot at this game. Not much good content elsewhere for this game. Not sure if it would be too close to the warrior build but would love to see a Samurai build
oh my god, this is exactly the type of build I was looking for, thank you so much!!! I just started playing morrowind and its a bit overwhelming but I wanted to try a spellsword badass and this is perfect!
Just started playing this again since I think 2003? Great relaxing game when I need a break from elden ring, thanks for reigniting my nostalgia for this game, forgot how good it was
Love the content man! Taking a break from Morrowind been getting into ESO lately You make me always wanna play morrowind again haha EVERY TIME you make these videos
Coffee i know you’ve been playing this game about as long as ive been alive, but did you know you can shift/ctrl click items in a stack for example gold to take only one or all of the stack? That way you dont have to hit the [ok] box every time.
My main right now is pretty similar, dark elf with the atronach, but he’s more of an ‘arcane warrior’ than a spellsword. Long and short blades, marksman, and medium armor + block, with alteration mysticism and restoration. So all the damage comes from weapons while layering on all types of defenses and buffs with the spell schools. Plus alchemy and illusion for support.
Spell absorption and reflect are multiplicative, you need one instance to grant the full 100% effect, (50%+50%=75%). Reflect only works once and cannot be blocked when it does (this actually pierces godmode...), this is important when you cast spells on enemies with their own reflect (quite a few have it), it will not be reflected again (but the absorb health on touch is excellent, as it cancels the damage out). Reflect doesn't work on traps, but absorption does. Attronach sign is absolutely busted for sure. You can kill Vivec with just his own spells, with 100% reflect, just standing at range (to avoid his melee).
Really nice and informative Guide. It s really cool that you pay that much attention to the character creation. How about a Hand to Hand build next, Something Like a Monk using Unarmored, Alteration and Restoration?
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Yeah paralysis would be a nice fit maybe even destruction or mysticism with damage/drain and absorb fatigue. The main challenge would be how to effectively play with hand to hand in Morrowind since it s pretty OP against individual enemies but when you re fighting two or more it s a pain in the ass. I had a custom class Nord barbarian build with hand to hand as my minor skill. It s really good against one enemy but fighting a group was really difficult (especially against tough enemies like the riekling raiders in Bloodmoon)
You can also make a spell of open lock 100, go to Tel Fyr, go up to the top floor and open the chests there. There's a crazy expensive mace and the best light armour chest.
Atronach does not need vials for magica. Just good knowledge of blessing sites or marked one or almsivi (or what is the name) where you teleport you to the nearest temple and then you recall to your last position. Blessing is considered spell in game and you can refresh mana pool for little coin by those. I never used vials as atronach player.
Been trying to get into Morrowind and this build seems right up my alley can't promise I'll play it soon but if I have the time this video helped alot tnhx
Thanks man it makes me feel good that you make these videos and quality content. I Absolutely Love morrowind and it will always and forever be my favorite game. You have helped me so much man
I love Bretons. Their magicka resist and dragon skin racials really saved my hide more than once. Now I got the Cuirass of the Savior's Hide and im essentially immune to most stat drain. Which is obviously whats the most annoying when going full melee mode. I usually fight with touch-ranged magic and 2-handed sword with my own spellsword.
I enjoy an Argonian 'spellsword' that focuses on using a spear and Mysticism. The Absorb spell line is just too good, and nobody can outrun an Argonian.
swear youre the only person making good morrowind content that isnt exclusively lets plays
Whoa - Mr. Ergalla himself! Big fan of your work at the Census Office. Thank you for your service. 🙇♂️
watching your characters come through my office has been a delight, the platter is yours just dont tell the guards
@@socuciusergalla3241 lolol yes
Not simply the only, but the best!
Two words. Micky. D.
Coffee's making the canon accurate Nerevarine build! Godlike Dunmer spellsword is exactly how I imagine them being. Great video and fun content always
Nah, definitely a Brazilian argonian
@@spearmintvr7169 Boa Tarde Amigo!
It's what Dagoth would want.
agreed lol
I've always liked the idea that the Nerevarine was a khajit
If you're using the Atronach sign you can always restore your magicka through Temple shrines or Imperial Cult shrines, or summon your own ancestral ghost and hit it a few times, then dispel it again. It's such an overpowered sign, but fun to play.
Joining the mages guild at the start will give you ample restore magicka potions
I was playing a atronach build the other day. Was very surprised at how easy it is to restore magica using shrines.
You can also enchant bought or made spells onto items as well, like jewelry, misc weapons, or armor. These will use the enchant charge instead of magicka, and that will recharge over time. But it does have a higher upfront cost to get set up. Also scrolls, scrolls are super useful always have some intervention and mark/recall scrolls on hand

Doing a blind playthrough of Morrowind has several meanings thanks to its magical effects 😄
@turtlesandwich77 Ah true that 😂
The female orc is another interesting option; she leans a little harder into the “sword” aspect of the build, but she gains a bonus to willpower, and suffers no losses to intelligence like her male counterpart.
My high elf atronach artificer had been struggling early on without cheese, but you just made me realize that female orc would actually make waaaaay more sense for the character Im trying to make. Probally have an easier time fresh off the boat too
@@GammaFields Dude, I am so happy that I was able to help you!
Can 100% vouch on the female orc option, Mina gra-Bonka has been my most fun Spell"sword" character both in Morrowind and Oblivion
For all you guys worrying about running out of Magicka or potions with the atronach stone, keep in mind every spell you buy or create can be put onto an item as an enchant and you can use the enchant charge to cast in replacement of magicka, and in morrowind that enchant charge will recharge overtime which completely trivializes magicka but will have a much higher upfront cost to get set up

These videos are actually amazing. I wish that you could make full build videos that also showed mid and endgame progression
There’s a free ring in an Ancestral tomb right next to gnisis that gives a 30% resist to every element pretty op on a dunmer/ nord with atronauch
subscribed because it's cool someone making 20 year old game videos in the style of modern youtube vids
This is great build! Playing with this will be so much fun and combination of powerful spell and sword creates the most deadly combination in the entire game!
Finally the build i was looking for, thank you! I love spellsword build and i always went with breton since the heavy armor are just too cool to leave out, this gave me some ideas and ill try it next time.
Bro I love how fresh your Morrowind content feels. Keep up the great work!

Thank you! I appreciate hearing that ❤️
If you find the falling wizard, he'll be carrying a sparksword. You can save your magicka just alittle. He should be just outside Sada neen.

As there is no stat limit you can get 10000 intelligence and this will easily be enough for you to enchant yourself a constant effect piece of clothing/armour/jewellery. It won't be as good as the legendary pieces you will find though eg the fists of randagulf are serious required equipment for a melee specialist
@Seaworth I see mods that make gameplay easier as exploitation not something that is built into the game. The super stats was nerfed in oblivion you can't have a skill improved with high stats past 100 and the intelligence stat doesn't make your potions better so the fortify intelligence glitch doesn't work
Your Morrowind videos are great. Informative, fun, funny. I've watched many of them. The one thing I've noticed is that you never take the key and loot the warehouse. I usually leave town with close to $3k every time. Just realizing this is a year old. Do you even check the comments anymore?
Great videos man, I'm glad I've discovered your channel. It's nice to see that somebody creates such good fresh content for Morrowind. Keep up the good work!
just recently got into morrowind and i find the game extremely difficult so im so grateful for your vids!!
Glad you're finding them helpful!
My spellblade is a breton who uses conjuration to use bound dagger and then illusion to paralyze. So much fun imo
Rocking this as my first unmodded playtrough.
Man i love your Morrowind How To videos, keep up the great work ✌️
Great guides you make ! I discovered your channel not long ago and I love it !
I made a sort of spellsword almost like that (but on axe, heavy armor and conjuration). And Atronach was my choice too, and it's great ! Another way to turn around the stunt magicka is to apply to the Imperial cult : after a few missions, you'll have free access to the altar, and to the restore attributes benediction. And your spell absorbtion will restore you magicka in a instant! So: Mark - Divine Intervention - pray on the altar - Recall... and back in the fight again !
That being said, I must confess I'm a little disapointed with the class name... I thought you would go for "S-W-O-R-D" :D but maybe it's too "dad's joke" for a native english speaker ^^
When stealing the limeware in the beginning, I find the best way is to approach the shelf, open your menus, pick up the item and then just put it down directly after (don't even need to place it in your inv). You can do this with any item within reach of your menu screen and the guard will approach you after you close your menus. But then you can pick everything up and they will stay in your inv even if you do another attempt. Like I like to do all the books too. I think that makes sense how I explained.
I learned this trick because I do tons of decorating by just placing things where I want them in the world from my inv. I decorate entire shelves or tables without ever closing my inv. Try it out, it's a game changer and I've never seen anyone else ever do it
More builds please! In love with these, reignited my passion for this game
Jaw dropped when i saw this vid came out, you are the man!
Love your vids bro.
Played morrowind as a kid when it came out. Always come back to it for like 23 years or however long it’s been.
All my mage/sorcerer/warlock etc characters use the Atronach. It’s just too good.
Love absorb health too.
first time playing morrowind, i'm already lv 11, it's really rough at the start but i'm having fun, thanks for the tip of items!
Solid guide. Back in the day it took me lots of trial and error to learn these tricks. Makes me want to play again.
It's never a bad time to head back to Vvardenfell!
Also note, how no mods are needed to enjoy the gameplay aspect of this game one bit. It's as rich and detailed as you want (or broken).
Agreed! The vanilla system will always have a special place in my heart
I have never played Morrowind being so op since the beginning, until now thanks to you bro.🔥
I love this channel so much, got me wanting to play morrowind and finish it. Me from 15 years ago just used to bumble around BUT I did love the house Hlallu quest line
Hell yeah - glad to hear it! 🤘
Awesome video Coffee, can't wait to see the Battlemage one been debating doing a Telvanni Battlemage now with the tease I will be watching my notification bell very closely. Keep up the amazing content Muthsera :D
New sub. Found you looking for character builds as I never took a real shot at this game. Not much good content elsewhere for this game. Not sure if it would be too close to the warrior build but would love to see a Samurai build
Wow. Exactly what I'm looking for, first video I clicked, small channel, and made this year on a super old game. I'm spoiled today.
oh my god, this is exactly the type of build I was looking for, thank you so much!!! I just started playing morrowind and its a bit overwhelming but I wanted to try a spellsword badass and this is perfect!
Awesome editing and commentary for the greatest game of all time, thanks coffee!
Carcass shirt 😁 Awesome video man.
Great video! Love your energy and game knowledge. Definitely looking forward to your other vids.
Out of every build I've tried out, I'd say that a Dunmer spellsword is the most beginner-friendly.
Your videos are very informative and have a cozy atmosphere. I watch them to learn something new and also to chill. Great job!
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them 😊
Just started playing this again since I think 2003? Great relaxing game when I need a break from elden ring, thanks for reigniting my nostalgia for this game, forgot how good it was
Love the content man! Taking a break from Morrowind been getting into ESO lately
You make me always wanna play morrowind again haha EVERY TIME you make these videos
Im so happy i found your channel. Love me some Morrowind. Definitely subscribed. Any plans for a battle mage?
Nice Carcass shirt, love that band heartwork is a classic melodeath album!!
Agreed! One of my favorites. Was just listening to Surgical Steel this morning.
Rot n Roll 🤘
Coffee i know you’ve been playing this game about as long as ive been alive, but did you know you can shift/ctrl click items in a stack for example gold to take only one or all of the stack? That way you dont have to hit the [ok] box every time.
very nice guide, i just recently started playing morrowind and was looking for a video about a good spellsword build but i didnt find one until now
My main right now is pretty similar, dark elf with the atronach, but he’s more of an ‘arcane warrior’ than a spellsword. Long and short blades, marksman, and medium armor + block, with alteration mysticism and restoration. So all the damage comes from weapons while layering on all types of defenses and buffs with the spell schools. Plus alchemy and illusion for support.
The goat back with another vid
This video is amazing, even cleared up the reflect+absorb magic combo.
I'm following this guide, may have conjuration over athletics. Not sure
Spell absorption and reflect are multiplicative, you need one instance to grant the full 100% effect, (50%+50%=75%). Reflect only works once and cannot be blocked when it does (this actually pierces godmode...), this is important when you cast spells on enemies with their own reflect (quite a few have it), it will not be reflected again (but the absorb health on touch is excellent, as it cancels the damage out). Reflect doesn't work on traps, but absorption does. Attronach sign is absolutely busted for sure.
You can kill Vivec with just his own spells, with 100% reflect, just standing at range (to avoid his melee).
Loved it, been trying to get into Morrowind after playing Skyrim for years, and your video made me want to try again 👍
I'm definitely useing this build in a video
Spellsword is my go-to playing style.
New subscriber here. Thank you for the work you're putting into these videos, they're incredible!
Really nice and informative Guide. It s really cool that you pay that much attention to the character creation.
How about a Hand to Hand build next, Something Like a Monk using Unarmored, Alteration and Restoration?
You want Illusion in that build, Paralysis makes an enemy count as knocked down for your Hand-to-Hand attacks.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Yeah paralysis would be a nice fit maybe even destruction or mysticism with damage/drain and absorb fatigue. The main challenge would be how to effectively play with hand to hand in Morrowind since it s pretty OP against individual enemies but when you re fighting two or more it s a pain in the ass.
I had a custom class Nord barbarian build with hand to hand as my minor skill. It s really good against one enemy but fighting a group was really difficult (especially against tough enemies like the riekling raiders in Bloodmoon)
You can also make a spell of open lock 100, go to Tel Fyr, go up to the top floor and open the chests there. There's a crazy expensive mace and the best light armour chest.
Scourge da bomb
Just binged a few of your morrowind videos. So nostalgic and wonderful!
Caught me off guard in the beginning bit. Figured you would go for that iron sparksword first.
Atronach does not need vials for magica. Just good knowledge of blessing sites or marked one or almsivi (or what is the name) where you teleport you to the nearest temple and then you recall to your last position. Blessing is considered spell in game and you can refresh mana pool for little coin by those. I never used vials as atronach player.
Greetings from Poland, Enjoy your videos 😀
Been trying to get into Morrowind and this build seems right up my alley can't promise I'll play it soon but if I have the time this video helped alot tnhx
Thanks man it makes me feel good that you make these videos and quality content. I Absolutely Love morrowind and it will always and forever be my favorite game. You have helped me so much man
Another brilliantly entertaining and informative video!
I love Bretons. Their magicka resist and dragon skin racials really saved my hide more than once. Now I got the Cuirass of the Savior's Hide and im essentially immune to most stat drain. Which is obviously whats the most annoying when going full melee mode.
I usually fight with touch-ranged magic and 2-handed sword with my own spellsword.
"Spells? Word."
You clever bastard
The Spell Sword/Battlemage is typically what I end up making in every Elder Scrolls game
...
And most other games
I never comment on videos .... but this is a damn good video !
I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it
Could you do a heavy armor sorcerer build? I've been playing around with one using some enchant and mysticism and it's been very fun
That's what I was thinking of for more of a Battle Mage build - heavily armored tank with blunt weapon and spells
Just found your channel
Awesome Videos! I Learnt a lot from You about Morrowind!
And you love metal music 🤘🏻
I enjoy an Argonian 'spellsword' that focuses on using a spear and Mysticism. The Absorb spell line is just too good, and nobody can outrun an Argonian.
True! Got that lizard speed 🦎
Everybody can outrun an Argonian, just put on some boots of blinding speed.
@@HS-hx8ti That's racist!
Just started playing a similar build using tips from his spear video and this one! Lizard gang gang!
Yooo you did it thank you so much I've been counting the days for this to come out. Great vid
